What should I bring to my tubing trip?

As the Spring and Summertime weather starts to pour into the Austin area, more and more Texans are starting to get outside. Fortunately, there are so many things to do outdoors to take advantage of the sun and warm temperatures. This means that the local rivers are likely to be seeing increased visitations with people enjoying the water.

One of the most popular water activities in Austin is tubing on the river. Nothing beats a leisurely trip down a winding river to keep you cool. You can choose one of the many rivers in the Austin area including the San Marcos River in Texas. Numerous other local rivers offer tubing experiences.

You need to keep in mind that all outdoor activities do come with some risks. You need to be careful and remember to pack several items. All of these items are designed to keep you safe while you are out enjoying yourself:

• Sun Block
• Hat, cap, or visor
• Sunglasses
• Foot protection
• Something to Drink (Water, others)

As the days start to get longer and the sun gets hotter, the need for individual protection becomes more important. It is more important than ever if you and your friends decide to spend time on the river. In case you were not aware, the sun’s rays become even more intense as they reflect off the water around you.

You will soon discover why we included all of the items on the above list. Each of the items will provide a different type of protection for your body from the effects of the sun. Not having them may impact how much you can enjoy yourself on the river.

To maximize your tubing enjoyment on the San Marcos River, the Apexcursions offers several tour packages. Each of their packages includes luxury transportation to and from the Austin area directly to the river launch site and from the river landing back to where you were picked up at the end of the 3.5 hour trip down the river.

They offer two different types of tours and both are well worth the price. First, there are the public tour packages that offer a luxury ride from a designated pick-up and dropoff location in downtown Austin. Depending on the size of your party you will be driven in style in either an SUV, luxury travel van, or Party Bus, and for the really large parties of over a hundred, we have luxury motor coaches.

The other type of packages are private tour packages and the primary difference is that the luxury vehicle that you will be driven in will be picking you up and dropping you back off at your home. All of the vehicles used by Apexcursions for transporting its guests are permitted to allow alcohol to be consumed during the ride. So, if you and your friends are looking for something fun to do outdoors in Austin, you really need to check out the public and private tubing tour packages that Apexcursions has to offer.
